Nature.com (original, right?)

If you are one of the only 4 people that read this blog, then you must be something that knows at least somewhat about who i am.
One thing that most everybody knows about me is that i am very much not an outdoorsy person.
You can imagine my apatheticity when i was told that the class voted on the Nature section to talk about in class.
I am definitely not against nature, it's just not my thing. But i am glad that this section will be drawing to a close.

Being told to research more about nature, i figure, why not go for the obvious, and i typed in "nature.com" in my browser.
turns out, it is real.

But i actually took time to look around at this site, and it is actually a pretty decent one.
It's got daily updated news (nature related, of course),
A career center for people interested in nature themed jobs,
An education center for most anything that you want to know about nature,
and so much more.

It really is a great site, very legit.
I just read an article about the world's largest snake that was just discovered in a fossil.
"Titanoboa cerrejonensis" or "Titanic boa" was 13 meters long and lived "60 million years ago"
Don't get me started on the whole age of the earth thing, but other than that, its a pretty interesting article.

yay nature.
